Chicken Brazilian Style !

A friend of ours gave us some sauce she made using Malageta peppers . It was so good we used in on everything we could think of . The original recipe is here
We used the left overs on pizza and also with pasta, both were excellent. It is Just the right amount of spiciness without being too hot. But of course you can make it as hot as you want.
Using a couple of bricks helps support the skewers and keep everything lifted just a bit to avoid sticking to the grill.




Walnut + Asian Pear

We have an assign pear in out back yard and have tons of pears this summer.  I have made the walnut bread before but I thought I would try the addition of fresh pears about 1.5 cups diced.
This bread is made with a WW sourdough starter made into a sponge based on Nancy Silvertons recipe.  The Sponce brews for several hours and then is mixed with the main dough. After needing the main dough a bit with stretch and folds , I folded in the walnuts and pear. In The refrigerator for 24 hours and baked the following night.
A great bread with the sweetness of the pear.




Pizza 50/50

I am always experimenting with flour combinations. This pizza is made using 50% caputo 00 and 50% organic central milling AP.  68% hydration , fermented 24 hours.



 

Bialy's

Bialys are easier to make than bagels because you don't have to boil them .
plus you get that great sweet onion mix!

These are best eaten same day
